Gabriel Jesus discovers true scale of the ‘Barcelona effect’ after just two weeks

Gabriel Jesus has only been a Barcelona player for 15 days, but the early signs suggest he is already experiencing just how different life can be at one of football's biggest clubs.
The Brazilian arrived from the Premier League in the final days of the summer transfer window and wasted little time making an impact.
After just two appearances for Hansi Flick's side, Jesus has already scored his first goal and begun the process of taking over the No. 9 shirt left vacant by Robert Lewandowski .
Notably, Barcelona did not bring him in just to provide depth. He wants to establish himself as a regular and become the type of forward who can decide matches when trophies are at stake.
Away from the pitch, the scale of his new club has become impossible to miss.
